Personal values list
A selection of five values that become your measure when deciding, instead of guesswork.
What it’s for
Decisions get stuck when there is no measure. Values are that measure — not goals you reach, but directions you steer by.
How it goes
- Write fifteen words describing the kind of person you’d like to be: honesty, peace, curiosity, loyalty, courage …
- Cross out down to ten, then to five. The crossing out is the exercise.
- Beside each of the remaining ones, write one concrete act from the past week that expressed it.
- Where there is no act, there is a gap between what you say and what you live. That isn’t an accusation, it is a starting point.
